Racial Discrimination, Segregation, kids Teased Him As a Child, Because of Segregation Blacks Had Fewer Opportunities Blacks were not allowed to do many things, such as going out to certain restaurants, use public drinking fountains and bathrooms. Jesse and other blacks would joke about it. Jesse would say that the reason the black and white football teams would not play against each other was because the whites were scared the blacks would beat them since the blacks were better.

He does not preach much unless there is a camera in front of him. He is a leader among the African American community, although many, on the African American conservative side, disagree with Jesse Jackson because of his leftist views and what some would call reverse discrimination views. Jesse Jackson has many preacher friends, like Al Sharpton. Contrary to many peoples beliefs, Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan do not align themselves, as the Honorable Louis Farrakhan shares beliefs with the economist Lyndon Larouche and Alex Jones. Jesse Jackson has beliefs similar to former Mass. Representative and gay prostitution ring leader Barney Frank.

Civil rights leader and two-time Democratic presidential candidate Jesse Jackson (1941-) became one of the most influential African-Americans of the late 20th century. He rose to prominence working within Martin Luther King Jr.'s Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and was at the Memphis hotel with King when he was assassinated. Through PUSH, the organization he founded in 1971, Jackson pressed for broader employment opportunities for African-Americans. During the 1980s and 1990s he negotiated the release of dozens of international hostages and prisoners. In his 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns, Jackson won 16 state contests and millions of votes, making him the first viable African-American candidate for president.
